Ever After Moments

I just had my wedding on Saturday (07.28.18) at Ko'olau ballrooms. I honestly didn't think I needed a coordinator, but the venues policy is that you have to have one. Leading up to the wedding, Cheyenne was very organized, and always answered whatever questions I had. On the day-of I was honestly so happy with the outcome 100 percent. She went above and beyond helping me and organizing multiple things for the ceremony and reception. Whenever I needed her, she was there. She helped me make some changes which ended up making the flow of the wedding even better! She is definitely one hard working lady who wants to please her brides! I am so happy I hired her, because honestly I know she did way more than what I saw! Thank you again Cheyenne!!

Cheyenne was great to work with. We hired her as a day of coordinator but she literally helped us from the day we hired her. Compared to other planners out there, she was very cheap for a ton of work! She always had suggestions, she was good with communication, she helped us contact the vendors, she met up for a venue walk through and the rehearsal, and she pretty much set up our entire wedding the day of (aside from the laborious tasks and what the vendors set up.) I am very organized and I didn't need her to provide budgets, timelines or plans. I had everything designed and picked out to the T so she only needed to follow my lead. If there was one small request it would have been to have her wear a slightly more professional outfit that still allowed for running around. We are still happy though. Our families are crazy but she helped everything go along smoothly! Cheyenne, we were very happy with everything. Thank you so much!

She was amazing! Everything came together perfectly that day. Our wedding planner took so much of the stress off of me, even the added stress I received from my new ohana, I was able to enjoy my wedding day. Honestly, the ceremony was by far my favorite part of it all! The flowers, decor, everything was simple and elegant an she was spot on with the colors I wanted, especially with the table displays at the reception! I’m so happy I chose to use a wedding planner rather than try to do it all myself, an even happier I met Cheyenne! She’s very personable when it comes to planning an really trying to put together all the details an pictures the bride has in her head. She took my ideas and showed out when it came to the big day, amaaaaazing!! She’s got everything it takes to build a dream wedding, an her Baker is fabulous as well! The cake was so simple yet delicious and went perfectly with the cake topper my mother made! Thankyou so much for making my wedding day everything a girl could ever dream of! Definitely recommending Ever After Moments to those planning to get married in the future. If you’re gonna do the big day, make sure to choose the right person that’ll get it done!

We cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with Ever After Moments! Cheyenne was a fantastic wedding planner. She helped us immensely to plan our wedding remotely from the mainland. Cheyenne was always prompt with responses and very professional. She made the entire planning process much easier for us, and when our wedding day came she directed everything perfectly.

I got married earlier this month at Kualoa Ranch. I hired her as my day of coordinator. I pretty much found my vendors myself so I didn’t need her for that. I basically just needed her to make sure my wedding day went smoothly as in set up, clean up, and also make sure it just flowed and for her to keep everything going as in (getting people together and lined up for my ceremony, making sure she went over the schedule with the DJ and MC, coming to me to tell me things like “okay, we are going to cut the cake in 5 min etc). Also, I’d like to add that I hired her because she was the best priced compared to others but now that my wedding is over, I wish I would have just spent the extra money on someone with more experience. She was helpful in some areas though. She put together a timeline and a layout and she did do a good job setting up and cleaning up. We paid her extra for the clean up, but my family did help as well at the end of our wedding... So to start, we got married at Kualoa Ranch and the original plan was to get married out on the grass. However, due to Mother Nature that did not happen and at the last minute the ceremony was brought under the pavilion area. I’d like to add that I was happy with how everyone improvised. However, the coordination part was sloppy. The ceremony started (music started to play) before everyone was lined up! So you could hear people calling for everyone so they could walk out and people were running to their places and it was TOTALLY noticeable. And yes I realize that is some of my families fault, however I think the coordinator should be responsible for making sure EVERYONE is lined up before starting the ceremony! I’d rather be late then sloppy! After the ceremony, I swear Cheyenne was MIA. I only saw her that night a few times and every time I did see her or I would send someone to find her, they would tell me she’s on her phone, or eating or cleaning up by the food area. I didn’t hire her to be by the food area and straighten up, I hired her to be accessible to me throughout the night! On the contract it said that she would have another person to help her, well if she had to clean that bad she should have had her partner do it and she should be near me at all times! She did nothing for my reception as for coordination. It was so bad that my sister in law stepped in and acted as my coordinator. She was the one that would come up to me and say “okay right after this is the first dance and then right after is the mother and son dance”. Had it not been for my sister in law, my wedding would have been a complete disaster! I was very displeased with how that whole thing went but I was determined to try and not let that ruin my wedding day. I worked too hard trying to plan it to let it ruin my entire experience. My whole family was pissed at her because everyone came to tell me “where is your coordinator why isn’t she helping you?”, some of them added “I saw your coordinator, she’s up there on her phone”. There were a few times that some of my family members wanted to snap at her for not helping and doing her job and she would give attitude saying that the DJ and MC has a whole different timeline then she did. But if that’s the case, then I feel like she should have done her job as a coordinator and think on her toes maybe and talk to the DJ and MC and figure it out! Not just throw a fit that she didn’t have the same timeline and just sit and do nothing! I am not the type to write bad reviews but I was so disappointed with Cheyenne’s performance. I am trying to be as fair as possible with my rating however I do not feel she is experienced enough to take on a wedding. Weddings are only done once, and had it not been for my family that stepped in and assisted, my wedding would have been a disaster. I am disappointed I wasted money. Had I known I was only paying for someone to set up and clean up, and drawl a layout and set up a timeline, I would have just paid my family to do that or done it myself. I do not recommend Cheyenne for wedding coordination. And I apologize if this comes off as ranting but this was my wedding day, and it’s something I will never get to redo.

Cheyenne & her team were amazing. Words can't even express how well my wedding day went because of her. Let's start with hiring Cheyenne. She was so responsive and answered a lot of my "dumb" questions. She was able to work with my budget (which all brides know that's really important). Her team offered desserts, wedding cake, labor (set up & break down), floral, and day of coordinator services. So her sister, Sierra, was the baker. I received countless compliments about my wedding cake & cupcakes! She offered exotic flavors and an amazing cake tasting. I sent a picture of what I wanted my cake to look like- & Sierra whipped it up just like I saw on Pinterest. My grooms cake was a brownie & all of my military guest fell in love with it. Sierra worked around my needs and made it happen! Cheyenne did an amazing job as a florist!! I was surprised how beautiful my sunflower centerpieces & bouquets were! I loved my bouquet so much, I didn't want to throw it during the bouquet toss- so I used two sunflower centerpieces & wrapped it in a burlap ribbon (how selfish of me LOL). I provided a lot of decorations & I wanted to ensure that they were all used; she successfully displayed them in the perfect locations so that my guests were able to see them all (I had a lot, LOL). Her team was so efficient with setting up & tearing down- I honestly did not have anything to worry about because of her. Her team managed to complete tear down & loaded all my things into our vehicle way before the expected time. Cheyenne played such a huge part on our wedding day. I have no idea what I would've done without her. Also, her family & her are like 4 vendors in one!! Mahalo so much Cheyenne & Sierra for the help and patience with David & I.

Ever After Moments exceeded all expectations I had and really executed the vision of our wedding day setting. Cheyenne is a great communicator and did a great job of managing the details of our wedding day. Cheyenne made our wedding day very special by allowing us to enjoy every moment and not stress all the important details! A million thank you's to Cheyenne. I 110% will recommend Ever After Moments to family, close friends or anyone else planning on getting married on Oah'u or any of the Hawaiian Islands.

Cheyenne is the most amazing wedding planner. She was always there to help, completed the tasks we set together and was very affordable. The day of my wedding I didn't have to worry about anything because she handled it all so well. I wasn't stressed on my wedding day at all and that I believe has a lot to do with hiring Cheyenne and knowing she would make it fabulous. She pays attention to detail as well as very punctual, and that to me is so important. I'd recommend her to anybody who needs a wedding planner!

I hired Cheyenne for coordination services for my wedding. I'd say she was helpful in some areas - setting up during ceremony and reception and clean up was good. However, I could tell she was very inexperienced. Off the bat, she wasn't responsive to my emails, often taking weeks to respond to vendor referrals - which is okay, because I ended up picking all of my vendors anyway - except for cake and florals. If you looking for someone who is quick to respond, she is not. She also did not contact all of my vendors prior to the wedding. I was notified by my minister that no one contacted them which is why they called me the night before the wedding. She advised that she could provide cake and floral services which I trusted her with. I was very specific on what I wanted and provided numerous photos to clarify. On the day of the wedding, one tier of the cake fell during transport. They were able to bake another tier and get it to the wedding on time, however, the cake ended up melting after the ceremony! If you are an experienced baker in Hawaii, I think it is reasonable to expect that you know whether a cake will melt and how to prevent that from happening (ie. deliver the cake closer to time of cake cutting). I was very disappointed with that. I have no cake cutting photos and a lot of guests did not get any cake. I was only refunded $100. I don't think that is reasonable. One of my guests saw the cake melting and told Cheyenne about it, but she didn't do anything about it until it was too late. My floral centerpieces that she prepared looked nice but very incomplete and barely filled out the vases. The photos I provided show exactly how I wanted them to be. If you are unable to do this, it should be communicated. I also provided (and donated) her with items that I wanted her to incorporate, such as satin wrap for bouquet, jeweled brooch for my bouquet and cake topper for the cake. NONE of these items were used. Instead my bouquet handle was only tied with a cheap ribbon. . As I look back at my photos with mine and the bridesmaids' bouquets, they are not nice at all, same with the centerpieces. I also purchased (and donated) beautiful candles for the tables which she did not light after the sun set. Numerous guests had mentioned that my coordinator was not on point. If you are not picky or have a specific vision for your wedding/event, I am sure she could be helpful. However, in my case, I was mostly disappointed with her services and would not recommend her for coordination, floral or cake.

Our wedding was simple yet so elegant. It was so magical and EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! Kevin and I would like to take a moment to stress our gratitude to Cheyenne of Ever After Moments for everything. IT WAS EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR. Kevin and I are from CA and just started with our careers. That’s a hint that we are very tight in our budget. We wanted to get married in a church and have a nice meal and an open bar for our guests during the reception, without spending a lot of money. After doing a lot of research, we figured out we won’t be able to get the wedding we wanted in the Bay Area. So a destination wedding rings a bell. Kevin and I love Hawai’i so much that is has to be there, well, where else can it be, but in that beautiful paradise. The only problem is, how can we get everything done when we are so far away? We are so lucky we found Ever After Moments and Cheyenne came to the rescue! We explained to her our situation and she worked with us with what we have with all her patience! From planning and coordinating the wedding, to flower arrangement, to our custom-made cupcakes and photographer recommendation, really, Ever After Moment is a one-stop shop! Cheyenne go over with the cost breakdown and made sure we stay on our budget. She gave recommendations for flowers and the arrangement that won’t cost us a lot of money. We asked her if they can make us custom-made blue velvet cupcakes (all cupcakes - as I wanted to have a cupcake toast with my husband instead of the traditional cake cutting and the so forth). We sent her a picture of what we wanted and they were able to do it. (Please feel free to use our pictures Cheyenne.) Everyone loved the cupcakes, especially us. They were adorable and really yummy! We gave her our budget for photographer and she gave us Taylor and Sean (another group of people we need to thank so much). Cheyenne, we are so blessed and thankful to have found you. Thank you so much! Maja & Kevin #DoanWell

Cheyanne was such a great wedding coordinator for our wedding day. We wanted someone that was gonna take care of the "day of" things such as setting up the floral arrangements, picking up the favors, and setting up our venue. We didn't want to go through a big name floral company as most of them didn't fit our budget but Cheyanne did an amazing job with finding/ providing the flowers and creating beautiful centerpieces that looked like something you would get from an outside florist. She was always so easy to talk to and communicate with throughout the entire time of planning our wedding up until the wedding day. If I had to plan another wedding for any family members or friends Cheyanne would without a doubt be my first reccomendation. I can't thank her enough for everything she did for us and how amazing everything came out! You will not be disappointed if you choose her as you wedding coordinator.

Cheyenne was awesome! My husband and I live on Oahu but we decided to get married on Maui because I'm from there. Our wedding was in March 2017 and we met Cheyenne maybe a year before our wedding date and hired her as a partial service wedding planner. I loved how she was text savvy due to my work schedule, that’s the only way I’m able to communicate during the day, and was always able to meet with us in the evening after our working hours. I would text her whenever I had wedding ideas (decorations, ceremony, reception program) or needed quotes from certain vendors and she was always there to have her input and make the calls. She also flew over to Maui to be our day of coordinator and was great! She attended our ceremony rehearsal, practiced the timing of the songs and gave us ideas of different ways we can walk down the aisle. After that, we went to the reception hall to set up and she jumped right in and helped us set up and solve some decoration discrepancies we had. On the wedding day, she was a great pacemaker for the bridal party walking down the aisle, took care of all the vendor set up/payments at the reception and kept in constant communication with those people we appointed her too. Cheyenne was definitely our stress reliever! Let her be yours! =)

Everything about my wedding was perfect! A big part of that was because of Cheyenne. My wedding was in Feb 2017, and I met with her two times before then. She was a much needed help since my husband was overseas. She was constantly in contact with me, always there when I needed her. She reached out to all my vendors keeping everyone insync. She called multiple vendors, gathering prices which helped save a lot of money. When it came to the day of the wedding , Cheyenne showed up to the venue 4 or 5 hours before the ceremony accepting all the vendors. I had a stress free day and everything was exactly how I pictured it from the centerpieces to the sweetheart table. When the wedding was coming to an end, we were told storing our items overnight was no longer an options. She was big help and took all the items preventing me from being charged for storage. If you don't want a full wedding planner, consider a day of coordinator. Cheyenne made everything a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

I still can't believe how perfect everything was with our wedding! From getting ready to cleaning up, I seriously had no stress because I knew Cheyenne had everything running smoothly. What really amazed me was that our emcee did not show up for the reception and Cheyenne quickly volunteered to take on the role without any hesitation. She is truly a huge blessing to have and I definitely would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is getting married. You can really tell that she is very passionate with what she does! :)

I got married in Hawaii last month. We live here in the mainland but we decided to have a destination wedding bec but i used to live in hawaii and hawaii is just beautiful. My relatives also live in hawaii thats why it made it easier to have a destination wedding. I planned my wedding but i decided to hire a day-of- coordinator bec alot of of brides recommended of hiring one. I researched and called alot of wedding planners. I found Cheyenne's website on Knot.com. Cheyenne is the owner. They had a promo when i booked her. We emailed back and forth. I flew to hawaii one month before my wedding for my friend's wedding and Cheyenne and I met up. She was very approachable and nice. I was in hawaii for one week, we had our initial meet up. She came with me when I had my appt with the catering office. I wanted to meet up again with her that week before i went back to the mainland (to show her my decor, talk about decor, etc) but we didnt end up meeting again bec. She had some appointments. We emailed and texted back and forth while i was in the mainland. The week of the wedding, my now husband and I flew to Hawaii to prepare for the wedding. I wanted to meet with her early in the week, before the wedding, she was busy the first few days. We met up on thurs (wedding was on Sunday) and went over the timeline. Also, Few weeks before the wedding, i found out i couldnt order flowers from costco anymore, it would be delivered late if i put in my order. We ended up just buying flowers from the costco store 2 days before the wedding. Cheyenne helped buy some of the flowers and she and her sister made my bouquets and my bridesmaids bouquets, which lessen some of my stresses the day before the wedding. Cheyenne brought the bouquets on my wedding day. I was really grateful to them for doing that . She also put fresh flowers on my wedding cake which what we talked about. When my wedding reception was done, cheyenne and her sister cleaned up and waited for the other vendor (seatcover/ sash vendor). Hiring a day- of- coordinator was really a great decision!
